Lord Carlton, world heavyweight wrestling champion of 1947, was one of the most
televised celebrity wrestlers of the golden age of wrestling. A highly
theatrical showman donning his signature monocle and cape, he was a fan
favorite, entertaining audiences all over the world, from Madison Square Garden
to India and Egypt.

Considered a child prodigy, he attended the San Francisco School of Fine Art at
the age of 10. He decided to become more absorbed in sports, but never
abandoned his first love, art.

In his lifetime, Lord Carlton attained world fame as an athlete, but never
pursued fame as an artist, instead opting to auction off pieces on occasion for
charitable causes. For the very first time, his work will be available to the
public in the form of limited edition lithographs and glicees. In keeping with
his philanthropic efforts, a substantial percentage of all proceeds will
benefit various charities.

with vintage articles from magazines and newspapers ranging from the New York
News to the Riverside Press Enterprise.

The Carlton Collection is presented by his daughter, Kimberly Carlton, CHt, out
of honor and respect to Lord Carlton and, to continue providing to charitable
organizations in his name.
